[Behold! A new voice on the network. And... it sounds decidedly uncertain. Maybe a little shaky.]

[Hey, when you get electrocuted by thousands of volts out of nowhere before waking up somewhere you've never seen, you're bound to sound a little off. Not to mention completely overwhelmed.]

[And quite honestly, he doesn't know what to say right now. Asking the empty air for help? In a place he's never even heard of? Surrounded by sights and sounds and robots utterly foreign? That seems... odd. But what choice does he have?]

Someone... please. [He hesitates.] I don't understand what's happened.

I --

[And here is where the first bit of real panic seems to show through. Sure, he got the explanation, but--] I don't remember coming here. Or ever hearing of such a place.

Please answer me.

['broken' isn't really the right word. 'sheltered as all get out' is probably better.]

It's not all right. Memories... I need to remember.

[littlecrowgirl]

Well making your head hurt won't help you remember! Just take a moment to relaxxxx~

Get your zen on.

[thxforthememories]

My... head? Why would my head hurt?

[Awkward. Pause.]

Zen?

[littlecrowgirl]

You know! Like your inner focus or something. I hear meditation's great for that!

[thxforthememories]

No, I don't know.

Meditation... [HOW DO YOU DO THAT.]

[littlecrowgirl]

Don't worry, buddy, I'll definitely teach you that! It helps calm the mind and body or something. And you get to make funny noises like

"Hooooohhhhmmmmm"

[There's a fit of giggles on the other side of the feed.]

[thxforthememories]

Making noises helps... stay calm?

[littlecrowgirl]

I guess so! I never really tried it myself. It's supposed to be super helpful to ninjas though.

Or was it Bhuddists...

[thxforthememories]

Ninja.

[Oh hey he actually knows that word.]

Humans beings trained in stealth operations. I... see why they would need calm.

[littlecrowgirl]

Yeah. All my idols are ninjas. If I weren't a thief, I would so be one myself.

[thxforthememories]

A thief? You're a thief?

[littlecrowgirl]

Uh huh! The best in the business too.

You're looking at the Great Thief Yatagarasu!!

[thxforthememories]

[littlecrowgirl]

Well give it time, buddy! I'm only 17!

[thxforthememories]

[That's like seventeen years older than he is...]

And?

[littlecrowgirl]

...

And I'm just starting out! Give a girl a break, mister!

[Gosh Kagerou so insensitive to the small girls.]

[thxforthememories]

[he is six months old and what am social skills]

A break? What is it you want broken?

[littlecrowgirl]

No, you silly! I mean a break! A little leeway for little ol' me.

[thxforthememories]

Lee... way? What have you done that needs leeway?

[littlecrowgirl]

...Let me help you out, mister K.

You're giving a girl a hard time.

[thxforthememories]

Kagerou.

[HAHAH what are nicknames.]

That wasn't what I intended to do.

[littlecrowgirl]

Mister K sounds better to me.

Well I suppose I can forgive you if you say sorry...~

[thxforthememories]

But that isn't my name.

Sorry? I don't think I need to. I didn't know.

[littlecrowgirl]

It's a nickname. Don't you know what those are?

[Go to worst robot corner.]

Well, it'd be nice...
